1942 S.A.A.F Crash at Kisumu. Stampless postcard (Sep 5) from a P.O.W in Italy addressed to South Africa, minor water staining, with accompanying letter from the Army Postal Service H.Q in Durban, "The accompanying Postcard was recovered a few days ago from the aircraft which crashed into Lake Victoria on 19 December 1942. The crash resulted in the unfortunate death of General Pienaar and his companions. I am happy to be able to send this postcard to you in the unusual circumstances". The card with horizontal fold, letter applied to paper, otherwise unusually fine and rare, very little mail recovered from this S.A.A.F crash near Kisumu, this very explanatory note illustrated by Nierinck.
